Microsoft invites hackers to
Microsoft is currently new to some of the world's most famous computer security experts to test and search for the next version of Windows Vista operating system errors.
Thus, after years of facing many security errors discovered and exploited, Microsoft decided to change tactics.
Yesterday, Microsoft provided a trial version of Windows Vista operating system to about 3,000 of the world's leading security experts. This is a new step for Microsoft to strengthen the safety of products before attacks exploiting security bugs to steal customers' sensitive information .
Microsoft has faced harsh criticism of security practices in its products that have led to customer network and business stops. And then accused of not providing enough resources to protect products, Microsoft is trying to prove it has completely changed.
Expected early next year, Windows Vista - the first product developed by Microsoft from zero under the " Safe product development process ". This program marked a step in the way of launching new Microsoft products. Accordingly, instead of putting pressure on developing new features for programmers, Microsoft now requires them to consider each piece of code to see if they make a mistake.
Microsoft also established a security team to monitor all of its products. The security team reserves the right to not allow any product to be shipped if it does not pass security checks. Microsoft also organized two conferences with the participation of leading security experts to share experiences about how to attack computers.
However, organizing an internal conference like this is another issue that Microsoft has brought to the Black Hat Conference is another matter. Black Hat is a conference of famous hackers and Microsoft now wants them to look for security flaws in Vista.
The truth is that Microsoft brought Vista to Black Hat partly confirmed its commitment, Mike Janosko - a security expert - evaluated.
